Incorporated in 1913 as the city of South
Jacksonville, it was only a separate city for less than 20 years, as it was
annexed into the city of Jacksonville in 1932. Today, the "Southside" is an
active, dynamic part of the city. It boasts several upscale commercial areas
like the Avenues Mall, Tinseltown, and the St Johns Town Center. It is home to
many private golf and country clubs, most notably Glen Kernan, and the
Jacksonville Golf and Country Club.

The all new 9A expressway and Gate corridor has
spawned many new residential communities in this fast growing part of town.
Modern condominium, townhouse, and apartment communities have attracted many
young professionals to this area.

The Southside also has many great assets to it's
credit, it is home to the University of North Florida which has an enrollment of
over 15,000 and was recently rated the Southeast's best value in education. The
Southside also has the most extensive park system in the United States, with
playgrounds, ball fields and courts, jogging and walking paths, and places to
picnic and play.

The Southside has the lifestyle you want to live,
modern residential communities with all amenities, wonderful shopping, dining,
and entertainment at your fingertips, the schools and recreation areas you want
to raise your children.

There are many wonderful homes in this area, but you
